The institution's open access policy:
The Waidner-Spahr Library and the Research & Development Committee partner to offer funding for open access (OA) publication. Since an open access publication is made freely available to the general public and the scholarly community at large, the college library does not have to spend additional money to purchase this content back from the publisher for our collection in the future. The library will provide a fixed amount of money toward funding processing charges that lead to immediate OA publication by reputable publishers. All research articles in the journal or the entire monograph must be OA, not just the article being funded. Publications that are funded must be deposited in the "Dickinson Scholar" http://scholar.dickinson.edu institutional repository managed by the library. Dickinson Scholar provides additional access to the work and secure digital archiving. To request funding, faculty members should apply to the Research & Development Committee.
